'My LGBQTIA family, I see each and every one of you. The things that make us different, those are our superpowers,' Waithe said. 'Every day, when you walk out the door and put on your imaginary cape and go out there and conquer the world, because the world would not be as beautiful as it is if we weren't in it... thank you for embracing a little Indian boy from South Carolina and a little queer black girl from the south side of Chicago.'
